Drug addict sentenced to another ten years

A man who threatened to kill a couple with a knife in their apartment has just been sentenced to another ten years.

Patrick Brazil, 24, broke into the flat with another man last September and tied up the occupants while holding them at knifepoint.

The victims were forced to hand over bankcards, pin codes and other valuables.

He had previously been released early from a ten-year prison sentence, and had also escaped from prison officers last year.
